Ready to party? I think not… you haven’t gotten your party photo props! This is the trend for parties everywhere to have a photo booth with fun and awesome props for anything from weddings to big events. Pictures last forever so why not add some sparkle to your photo with cute props? Most out there are paper ones that you throw away once and never really have to look at again or it wears and tears after a while. The ones I bought is wood, I got it on a buy one get one free offer at Micheals Craft Store.
How to Transform Wood Lips and Glasses Photo Props
How to Make This!
I love this idea of having wood versions because it lasts a lot longer than paper ones. Personally, I don’t think the party has to stop with this one set of props, you never know when you will need it again. I obviously love the blank slate you get with these wood ones because you can do anything you want to bring it to life. Here is what I did with mine:
For the lips, I choose the simple lip style. I really focused on this one the most because it is really a great canvas to create. Plus come on, I couldn’t say no to these lips!
Color-wise, I thought going red would be too classic so I went with something different, something you do not see every day in your typical photo prop. Rose gold anyone? I used Deco Art Dazzling Metallic Rose Gold craft paint with standard regular kids paint brush.
I could have left it as if, but where would the fun be in that! I took out a black thin tip marker and began to lightly outline the lips. This way it will show up in the photos even bolder.
Next, I started from the middle and worked with the curve of the lips to give it that extra pop of character. It wouldn’t be lips without a crease.
As for the glasses, I keep it very simple that way the lips would really shine in the photos. I choose Deco Art Dazzling Metallics Silver to give the glasses a well-needed shine.
It really doesn’t take long to transform these. I had this done in less than 10 minutes. You can truly make it your own when it is a blank slate to play with. It’s perfect since no two parties are ever the same. You can save money simply by getting wood photo props and paints.
